Get another ride to school and have it taken to a shop.

You will need special tools to remove that, if you dont have the right tools, throw up the white flag of surrender. I believe Sears/craftsman sells a screw extractor, called an EZ Out:

I'm not trying to be mean or a smart a$$ but sometimes your better off letting someone with the right tools and more experience finish the job. but this looks like an easy fix as long as the threads arent damaged.

 

Take the lower plenum off. I bet the rest of the stud is still sticking up out of the lower collector. Put some vice grips on it and twist it out. You can use a bolt when you put it back together, just make sure you get the right size/thread.

I didnt even think of that... I looked at my engine bay but could'nt see the referenced spot because of the cover.

 

yeah you can get the extractor set at Sears (i have one it's a great thing to have in your tool box). You could drill it out and re-tap it. But either way I'd say if you've never tried either of these manouvers before, your best bet is to get it to a shop and have them to it.

Or maybe you get lucky and you can get a grip on it from the bottom, then get a new screw. Either way I'd invest in a torque wrench asap. People laughed at me when I spent $80 on a torque wrench for this exact install, now I'm glad I did.

 

I was thinking this was one of the bolts that hold the 2 plenums together, it's the stud that comes outta the lower collector. Still fixable, I edited my previous post. BTW, both studs are gone and I have bolts.
